External Service Monitoring DNS Cache Flush option | Archive

Please add the option to flush dns on external monitors for service monitoring. When we change an IP of an external service, it takes a while for some spots on Earth to get the update (about 50% of the service checkers), and by that, I mean many many times more than the TTL on the DNS. I'm still waiting and its almost 24 hours since i changed IP on a public record and the 3 of the service checkers are still not showing healthy (other 3 updated a long time ago). In that time that i'm waiting for this to update, our service monitoring is down. I understand i can put it in SDT, but then monitoring is Down for it. I tried changing the targeted URL the service monitoring was monitoring, then changing it back, but alas, the IP is likely still cached. I tried asking support to flush it, but they said I'd just have to wait. This is disruptive to monitoring.
